Bill ... my suggestion is for you guys to visit Charleston , Charlotte , Richmond , Jax etc sometime in July or August . If you haven`t spent time down here , the heat and humidity can come as a surprise . Not saying those aren`t great areas , just be aware that you have about 4 to 6 weeks that can be uncomfortable , but it`s a small price to pay for the rest of the year .
I`ve lived in Charlotte and wouldn`t go back . Lots to do , but horrible traffic . If you locate in the Huntersville , Mooresville area and work in Charlotte , figure on about an hour commute both ways , and that`s on I 77 . I`m originally from VA and the Richmond area also can be nice and lots to do .
Where I live now , I`m about 2 hrs max from Charleston , 1 hour from Columbia , 2 hours from Greenville/Spartenburg , 20 minutes from Augusta and 3 1/2 hrs from Atlanta .... and it snows maybe every 10 years ! If I want cold weather , I go to my place up in Wilkes County , NC .
VIR is a 5 hour tow , Road Atlanta about 3 to 4 hours and Roebling Road about 2 1/2 hours . Carolina Motorsports is around 2 hours .
